Artificial intelligence and the green economy: Towards an excellent and innovative solution to ensure sustainable animal feeding (concrete application on a farm in Beja, Tunisia)

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate the green economy in terms of reducing costs and wasting natural resources. Our research examined and verified this effect. Food waste is one of the main problems facing dairy farmers and livestock producers. There are two reasons for this problem: cows do not have the exact nutritional needs due to variations in quantity and quality from one cow to another, and due to the gestation cycle. The project used the Scrum methodology, an innovative AI tool, to address a need expressed by livestock producers in the region, where an automated breeding unit made it possible to dose the appropriate quantity and type of feed for each cow. The work is carried out in an innovation laboratory, with dynamic specifications expressed by the product owner, the farmer. Our application has shown that AI can be considered a sustainable and excellent solution in the animal feed supply process.
